Biden authorized Ukraine to fire long-range missiles into Russia after Ukraine advanced into Kursk in August. Putin warned this counted as an act of war by the U.S. and NATO. The speaker questions whether escalating the conflict this way is actually wise.
Ukraine goes into Kursk in August. In response, Russia, they escalate the war by calling on a nuclear power and a sworn enemy of NATO and the United States, North Korea, to send its troops into the Kursk region. President Vladimir Putin said that if the United States continues to allow Ukraine to go inside of the Russian interior, it will constitute an act of warfare by the United States and NATO on Russia. Russia's foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, said that it would be a, quote, suicide venture for the United States to allow Ukraine to do this. And then we see that President Biden goes, yeah, we're just going to go ahead and allow Ukraine to shoot conventional weapons into the Russian interior. After all of those things that I just said, does that appear to you to be a wise decision?
